sleep study/titration w/sleep aid?

Posted by Fishing on February 15, 2007 at 12:47:47:

Hello All,

I am going to have another sleep study titration because during the last one I didn't sleep long enough.

My doctor wants me to use a sleep aid such as lunesta for my sleep study so that I can sleep better and longer during the titration. I don't have a problem with this except....

I have seen on the internet that sleep aids such as lunesta or ambien can cause sleep apnea to worsen.

My question is: Do I have to be concerned that I will not get a proper titration because the lunesta is artificially making my sleep apnea worse?

Any help or discussion on your experiences with this issue would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

Kent
